How It Works for Freight Forwarders

How it works at airrate.com follows the practical sequence a freight forwarder uses when responding to an air cargo request. Start with the shipment information, compare available airline options, select the routing that fits the job and confirm the booking online.

The same workflow keeps sourcing and booking connected. Instead of rebuilding a request across separate airline websites or waiting for multiple email replies, your team can move from route search to a bookable option through one platform and keep the shipment context together.

The Process

How It Works: four connected air freight stages.

How it works across the four stages is straightforward. The platform connects the key steps involved in sourcing, comparing and booking international air cargo in one continuous workflow.

How It Works: Enter Your Shipment Details

How it works begins with the basic information required to search the route. Enter origin, destination, cargo-ready date, weight and dimensions. The platform calculates chargeable weight automatically and prepares the request for airline comparison.

  • Origin and destination airports or cities
  • Cargo ready date
  • Weight and dimensions
  • General, perishables, DG or other cargo type

How it works for air freight booking and cargo aircraft operations
Air cargo from search to flight.

A faster commercial workflow for international air freight.

Built Around Air Freight

Designed for the pace of airline cargo operations.

Air freight decisions depend on timing, routing, available capacity and the requirements of the cargo. airrate.com brings the commercial steps into one clear workflow.

The platform helps freight forwarders move from an initial client request to a bookable airline option without switching between multiple disconnected sources.

How it works for a forwarding team is built around continuity. Shipment details begin the search, airline options provide the basis for comparison, and the selected booking remains connected to the same workflow. This reduces the need to rebuild the same request across separate emails, airline websites or disconnected tools.

How it works after confirmation is equally direct. Active jobs and booking history stay available from the same platform so teams can return to shipment information, review prior activity and continue managing the commercial side of the air freight job from one place.
